Firefighters in Millington reunite mom, baby

Millington firefighters came to the rescue of mother and her baby daughter about 2:30 this afternoon at the Kroger gas pumps on U.S. 51 and Shelby Road. Heather Stewart accidentally locked both her keys and 14-month-old Mary Margeaux Stewart in her Jeep. Stewart, about to pump fuel, had closed her door thinking the keys were in the ignition. (The doors won't lock with the key in the ignition). Mary Margeaux, strapped in her child restraint in the back seat, kept calm as firefighters opened the passenger door in just a few minutes. "Thank you," Stewart told them.

Millington firefighters came to the rescue of a mother and her baby this afternoon at the Kroger gas pumps.

Heather Stewart of Millington accidentally locked both her keys and 14-month-old daughter, Mary Margeaux Stewart, in her Jeep.

Stewart got out of the car to pump fuel when she closed the door behind her. She thought the keys were in the ignition, which would have prevented the doors from locking. They weren't.

Mary Margeaux, strapped in her child-restraint in the back seat, stayed calm as firefighters managed to open a door in just a few minutes.
